One example system for displaying immersive scenes includes a processor and at least one memory device. The memory device includes instructions that are executable by the processor to cause the processor to receive a collection of metadata associated with an immersive scene, identify each of a plurality of properties of the immersive scene based on the collection of metadata, receive a dynamic immersive background, receive a plurality of video streams associated with a video conference, and display each of the plurality of video streams in the immersive scene based at least in part of the plurality of properties of the immersive scene and on the dynamic immersive background.

An information processing system includes: an image display apparatus provided in a space and configured to display an image; a sensor apparatus carried by a user who is present in the space and configured to output a signal for detecting position information of the user in the space; and an information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus includes circuitry configured to store a plurality of pieces of position information of a plurality of users including the user, who are in present in the space, in association with the plurality of users, the plurality of users being detected based on signals output from a plurality of sensor apparatuses including the sensor apparatus, and control environment effect production that supports communication between the plurality of users by the image displayed by the image display apparatus, based on each of the plurality of pieces of position information of the plurality of users.

One example method includes capturing audio data at a client engine while outputting an output video, the output video being based upon an original video stored at the client engine, delivering the captured audio data to a prediction engine upon the captured audio data being captured for a pre-determined time, receiving from the prediction engine substitute frame data used by the client engine to stitch one or more frames into the original video stored at the client engine, and following stitching the one or more frames into the output video to generate an altered output video, outputting the captured audio data and the altered video from the client engine.

This disclosure provides methods, devices, and systems for videoconferencing. The present implementations more specifically relate to audio signal processing techniques that can be used to identify speakers in a videoconference. In some aspects, an audio signal processor may map each speaker in a videoconference to a respective spatial direction and transform the audio signals received from each speaker using one or more transfer functions associated with the spatial direction to which the speaker is mapped. The audio signal processor may further transmit the transformed audio signals to an audio output device that emits sounds waves having a directionality associated with the transformation. For example, the audio signal processor may apply one or more head-related transfer functions to the audio signals received from a particular speaker so that the sound waves emitted by the audio output device are perceived as originating from the spatial direction to which the speaker is mapped.
